The Forgotten Korean Mega Drive

There is a lot of crap from South Korea that hasn't really been covered. And tons of unlicensed clone consoles. But when pirating Sega's products, usually the last thing they do is plaster "SEGA" on the box, so this one leads me to think otherwise.

However also note that in South Korea, Sega's consoles were distributed by Samsung. Japanese/Korean tensions and all that. This one doesn't appear to be.and this one also looks like it was built for Robot Wars

in other newsthis isn't an official product but it is called a "Game Dunk" and that is amazing.

In Korea, yes. But what's strange is that it isn't distributed by Samsung or called Super Alladin Boy, but Mega Drive. One member on Sega-16 said it may be a clone. Though he's not entirely sure. I would love to find out more information on this. Here's a Link. to the thread I created on Sega-16 for anyone that's interested.

Computer Video Game Sistem... errrI've already seen this one, maybe on this japanese site: http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/rig_veda/I guess it's a low cost version, probably released after the launch of the Saturn.

If it was indeed released after the Saturn launch then it might be actual Sega hardware inside, if not clone hardware. Which would mean it's probably not emulation based. Much like those emulation clones that are floating around in Model 2 cases that use atGames' shitty emulation based hardware.

The text under the image says it is not a fake system and that it is a Korean version and was released by a small company using the Sega license. All expansion functions (for example connecting with the Mega CD) were removed and there are also no built in games. (however, even though this is an official system) Compared to fakes the performance wasn't good (and with that considered) it was expensive so people began to search for the fake systems. The last line seems to be the bloggers opinion that it was this kind of thing (low quality?) that led to Sega's downfall.

You can see I have been going around trying to find this old thread anyways, the controller is bit different from the "official" Samsung controller. The start button Is suppose to be above the abc buttons ... I will show what they look like when I get to find them in my basement :D
